Hermione: "I love my parents, so I wiped their memories of me to protect them." Harry: "I sent The Dursleys out of town." Hemione: "Did you wipe their memories as well?" Harry: "Nope." Hermione: "But you sent them away for their protection, right?" Harry: Hermione: "For their protection, right?" Harry: "So anyway...."
"The horcrux is evil and puts them in bad moods." If being around a horcrux puts people in a bad mood, then Harry's family must be real jerks. Wait a minute...
The best change from book to movie was Hedwig's death. In the book, she's kept caged with Harry while he travels and she ends up being a helpless meat shield for a spell aimed at him. In the movie, Harry sets her free before he travels and she chooses to sacrifice herself to protect him.
Didnt expect that either lol. Also Madeye guy being killed offpanel, woah he got negative respect. I thought it was a trick at first, then the guy shows up again at some point but.. no hahhaa
I feel it's not faithful to the character, after all why would Harry let go of something it can use and then eventually sacrifice because he thinks he is ever so special despite literally doing no good to anyone ever? Imagine how many lives could have been spared if no one was trying to protect that turd and instead they simply attacked he who has no nose and his followers? And surely the plot would be more interesting too if it was an effort led by hermione the prodigy witch who proved hard work beats having a bloodline. And maybe it's her studies that save herself and others time after another from demise showing ingenuity, new spells she made and the importance of basics. But nope ugly kid who does no good and sacrifices dozens it is! Great writing. Harry the sacrifice thirsty bird murderer part 7.

I always found it strange how in the Chamber of Secrets, Hermione says it'll take a month to make the Polyjuice Potion, but in the later films, it seems readily available, like you could go to the wizard version of 7-eleven and buy a 12-pack.
No 7-11 in the UK or Europe iirc. Last one in the UK closed like 40 years ago. Europe doesn’t really have foreign shops. Most international shops are European to begin with like Aldi, carrefour and Tesco. For 7-11 you should just say ‘corner shop’, that’s how you say ‘convenience store’ in English
I mean, it kinda makes sense that such a useful potion would be constantly being produced by skilled alchemists. I bet there'd be an entire industry around making and selling this stuff.

I love the developing lore around Producer Guy and his extremely strange life outside of work. Dude gets into some weird shit. I'm fairly convinced that if you were to watch and analyze every Pitch Meeting, he's left clues about murders he's committed.
Don't forget about the various sites across multiple US National Parks, abandoned buildings, and the Florida swamps where he hid/disposed of the remains.
There was also that time he said hail Satan and spoke in reverse speech (although I don’t remember which pitch meeting he did this in) There’s also the time dollar signs appeared in his eyes and he heard a cash register sound so he had to go on a journey of self discovery to learn he loves money, the time he died and become producer guy the white and the fact he can see a ghost that stays there with him
Watching this I'm realizing that they had a lot more security measures in the books. Like when they left the Dursley's they did split into different directions and they all had fake Hedwigs (they discovered the real Harry because he used the disarming spell he'd become known for). Also none of them went directly to the Burrow (which wasn't attacked in the 6th book), they went to separate locations that had protection charms around them and took portkeys from there (can't remember if it was explained why they couldn't just take a portkey from the Dursley's house). And the Burrow also had protective magic around it too from what I remember (plus Harry had a poly juice potion disguise at the wedding). The movies really did make it seem like they took next to no precautions.
Pius Thicknesse had gone to the Dark Side by that point and declared it illegal to use any sort of magical transportation in or out of the Dursley's house, which also meant extra surveillance by the Ministry on that area for anyone breaking the law. Besides, Harry was still not of age yet, so any magic used by or on him in the Muggle world would have tripped the Trace that was still on him, alerting the Ministry.
@@Dargonhuman Yep. Harry still had The Trace on him at the time, and any use of magical transportation out of the house on Privet Drive would have immediately been traced by the Ministry. The Order had to use things that wouldn't trigger The Trace: brooms, thestrals, Hagrid's motorcycle, etc. I don't remember if any of that is even mentioned in the film.
The Death eaters were probably watching the house anyway, but they definitely knew what day he was leaving. And the idea (in the book at least) is that the death eaters would think the real Harry was the one with one of the strong aurors. So they were definitely all risking their lives, but they at least had a plan to keep real Harry untargeted.
"you got choked underwater by a necklace" "yes." "ok cool" I like how the screenwriter guy is getting used to the weird thinks that the producer guy says
They both have those moments too. Like during the Rogue One pitch meeting when screenwriter guy was talking about how he has no reason to keep people alive once they're no longer useful to him and producer guy tried to call for security when he couldn't confirm that he was specifically talking about screenwriting. 🤣 They're just growing desensitized.
@@premiumheadpats4150 another screenwriter guy moment is the condensed milk in the Batman Begins meeting where he goes ‘not until you’ve brushed mothers hair’
Dobby’s death is so tragic in the books, I always forget that in the films, he basically doesn’t show up between films 2 and 7.1 at all, so Producer’s reaction was accurate
as someone who isnt big on harry potter I honestly felt the pacing in these two were the best, every other movie had its own specific stage of puberty that it needed to cover but they actually had some time for character nuance in this and the 2nd one
Hermione not thinking about her parents forgetting about their daughter that might also make the neighbors and friends suspect they did something to her and getting the police involved while they have a mental breakdown with odd memories of being in hospitals and pediatrician offices for no good reason is tight!
also why even do that? if voldemort knows about them he will hunt them down and kill them whether they remember her or not, it's not like they would know where she went or plan to do even if she doesn't erase their memories.
Y'know, when he started detailing the polyjuice potion plan, it occurred to me that Harry himself could've just taken the potion and shapeshifted into a member of the Order who wasn't present; then they could've left with no apparent Harrys at all and Moody could've survived.
Also, Harry had the invisibility cloak at this time, right? Why didn't he put it on and crouch down in the sidecar and only one person use the polyjuice potion and fly off in the opposite direction?
An example of a multi-layered plot point in a book turning into a dumb one by having to simplify it for a movie. The point was that the plan was supposed to be leaked to the death eaters by Snape. It helped prove to the death eaters that Snape was loyal to them, even though knowledge of the plan wasn't enough to actually know which one was Harry. So, in this case the plan made sense in that it met the needs of all the subplots, even the ones the reader doesn't know about yet. Pretty well done in the book (unlike, say, introducing a time traveling device that only ever got used once). But movies aren't allowed to make that kind of sense.
(1:16) YES! Thank you for pointing that out! I would love to see a comparison of screen time for the two Moodys. Almost all the quirks and nuttiness that we associate with Brendan Gleason's portrayal of "Moody" is from Barty Crouch Jr. Either those are Crouch's impressions, which represent his take on what Moody is actually like, or they are characteristics of Barty Crouch Jr. himself. We see very little of the real Moody, and then to top it off he's unceremoniously killed off-screen!
I always referred to this movie as “Harry Potter and the Endless Camping Trip.” I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only person who thought that part went on way too long.
@@Nooctae Yep. I remember this book as being mostly sad camping, then an unsatisfying showdown and an abrupt ending with very little closure for a 7 book series.
The pacing in Deathly Hallows is all over the place and it shouldn't have been. Goblet of Fire, the first of the 'long' books, is beautifully structured around half a dozen key events (Quidditch World Cup, Triwizard champions getting picked, task 1, Yule Ball, task 2, task 3) that are spaced evenly through the book. All the preceding chapters build up to the key event and build a sense of anticipation in the reader. Rowling used a similar structure for Half Blood Prince with Voldemort's memories. After that book it was all set up for Deathly Hallows to follow that pattern too, with Harry having to find and destroy 4 Horcruxes. It started off OK, with Harry et al tracking down the locket, but Rowling had Dumbledore ridiculously neglect to mention to Harry how to actually destroy a Horcrux and we wound up with a third of the book dedicated to the main trio wandering aimlessly around the countryside. Harry failed to work out where any of the other Horcruxes were from the information Dumbledore had given him in Half Blood Prince too, so all that set up was basically wasted. And to top it off, in a book that already involved 4 magical objects, Rowling decided to throw 3 more into the mix! Oh, and wand law makes no sense whatsoever! 🙂
"Oh no, one eyed friend who was actually an entirely different person from the time we knew him on screen!" Haha, loved this joke, we hardly knew the real Moody!
Yes. One of the only parts of the books that never felt right with me. Like I really liked fake mad eye so the swap out always bothered me. My head cannon says that was the real mad eye and he was only replaced by a fake at the end of the school year..
Yeah, that bothered me in the books, too. Arguably, Crouch 'was' Moody insofar as he impersonated him perfectly enough to fool even Dumbledore and everyone else who knew him, but still …
Ryan's delivery of the lines "No...we're done" at the end of the video is genuinely one of my fave moments. Reminded about the "sunk cost fallacy" term he used in The Walking Dead pitch meeting.
In the fifth book Harry is given a mirror that he can basically use to Skype call Sirius. But he forgets about it and remembers it only after Sirius died. He is angered because he realizes he could've used it and saved his life and so he throws it into his trunk and it shatters. Then in the other book he cuts his finger in one shard and when he picks it up he thinks he almost caught glimpse of a blue eye, which he thought was Dumbledore.
I remember binging these with my ex who was obsessed with them, and I kept feeling lost as if I was missing things from the story. But because my ex had all the answers I assumed I just hadn’t been paying close enough attention or had gotten confused. Now I’m realizing things just sorta happened in these movies, sometimes with no explanation and the only way to understand is to have read the books in order to fill in the blanks or just guess why something happened lol
It is incredible how these books became something like the bible for an entire generation (of girls). My ex was obsessed with them too, my current girlfriend likes them waaaay more than she originally told me, when we first started dating (maybe because I told her pretty early how overrated HP is in my opinion. They're nice books and nice movies, but thats it).
From what i heard, fantastic beast had good script/story written. But the execution is poor. Scenes filled with tension in script are comedy scene in movie.
in the books, I believe it is explained that Hermione sends her family to Australia, but they just skipped over that in the movie for some reason instead opting for house of empty picture frames
They could have easily fixed this by showing Hermione explaining to her parents why they have to flee to Australia and then as they’re walking out the door to get in the car she obliviates them (then cue the heartbreaking picture frames)
Yeah. That's why I don't like very much this franchise. Every single problem is fixed with magic, and some way the bad guys don't thing about that to prevent, like the "TRANSFORPORTION"
@@alexandresmgc374 I’m a huge fan of harry potter, but yeah the movies really aren’t great as a whole. The lack of character and world building moments skipped over to move the plot along better is a huge detriment to the films. Much like nearly every franchise, the books are infinitely better.
"Why doesn't the Ministry have safeguards against people sneaking in using Polyjuice Potion?" Because wizards are morons. That's it. That's the reason. Not specifically mentioned in either the books or the movies, but it's become pretty clear throughout the series that wizards as a whole have no common sense.
It is mentioned in the very first book, when Hermione and Harry are at the Potions obstacle (that the movie skipped). She actually said that wizards don't have an ounce of logic. (She was complimenting the logic puzzle they were facing.)
When I was reading the book, it felt appalling to think that Bellatrix would be stupid enough to leave the prisoners all in one big cell, with none of their hands tied, and did not bother to cast any enchantments whatsoever to restrict their movements. No wonder Voldemort could not win against a bunch of schoolchildren. Even his best recruit is idiotic.
@@JJJBunney001 I mean...just because they rely heavily on magic doesn't mean that none of them would ever think: "We got this potion that makes you change your appearance...people might use that"
I critique films too, I generally notice most things and predict the story from the beginning (my fiancée loves and hates that I can do that lol). But I can enjoy films without having to analyse every detail. But when I’m reviewing I’m inspecting everything haha.
Interviewer: Do you feel you did a good job as the big brother of Ron? Gleeson: I think I did a corking job! I was there for him, not for the whole time, but when things got rough, I showed up and got married. 😂
I'm waiting for the moment the producer just says passive aggressively: "super easy barely an inconvenience" in unison with the writer. And writer replies "oh,,,really" bit angrily
Out of sheer curiousity, did you prefer the books or the films? Personally, I saw the films first, and then tried to read books 1-4 to my daughter. She didn't really enjoy the convoluted areas of the writing, and even I felt that they were written extremely... haphazardly. In my opinion. No question of the wonderful world-building, but it was clear just how berserk a lot of it was. Almost as if the editors were non-existent.
The amount of times I was expecting a quick “hey, shut up” only to be surprised with something else AND THEN for that to happen half way through the video made me laugh at how ludicrous the Harry Potter movies were
This is easily one of the best ones I've seen yet! You keep getting better at these. So many lazy plot holes I never even thought of. I laughed so hard.
The funniest part about the trend of splitting a final book into 2 movies is that it kinda made sense for Harry Potter, since the book was extremely long, but those others were like tiny by comparison so they had absolutely nothing to fill time with. I’m cool with it happening in a book like “Dune” because, again, that book is super long, but this cash grab trend in YA books was so obvious that it immediately turned me off from any of those movies
@@mmack66 oh yeah, that was a trainwreck and a half. I at least initially accepted the idea that they were incorporating bits of the silmarillion to fill space, since there is a ridiculous amount of content in the LOTR universe that could theoretically work in the movies, but even so 3 movies would’ve been too much even if they did it right, which they 100% did not. The battle of five armies did have a ton of room to expand on, but they jumped the shark and it ended up being an incomprehensible mess. There were good moments, but overall it felt like it somewhat sullied the LOTR films’ good names since the series was now weighed down by a few pretty mid cash grabs
First off let me just compliment you on literally ALL your videos both Pitch Meetings and all other content. You are brilliant and the fact it might secretly be subverting my ability to enjoy movies is COMPLETELY immaterial to the joy derived from deconstructing….well…everything stupid not only in cinematic “entertainment” but the world around us. Kudos my man. The fact u do it routinely and dare i say “super easy” (dude, totally realize the effort it takes) makes me appreciate it all the more. Just introduced my wife to your videos and not gonna lie i felt supremely warm and fuzzy when she said “oh my GOD that is so totally you! You should do that too!”
Yeah the mirror in the movie is even more of a mystery. He got it from Sirius in the books and the veil that he is pushed through is very ambiguous in the books and he is not hit with explicitly the killing curse so I really thought Sirius was going to advise Harry from the dead realm and maybe even be saved
@@OctEddie I think it's quite the opposite. The mirror was there to fool us there's still hope for Sirius but it actually found its reason to be in the story not just for the subversion of expectations. Pretty clever if you ask me.
@@OctEddie in Harry Potter, death is death. There usually isn't anything more to it. You die and you may become a ghost that's all. And there is Harry Potter who is pretty much immortal. Lol
The Sean Bean joke got me really hard xD Just a bit strange that producer guy doesn't pick up the fact that just a tiny house elf manages to dispatch all of the deatheaters with ease. I mean they can even teleport where noone can so how come noone has ever raised an army of house elves and conquered the world already ?
@@Dattebayo04 I'm not saying it's the kind of thing the good guys would do, but if elves have to obey orders wouldn't that make them the perfect army then?
@@matthewpatrick7263 As an Australian, I can confirm that this is the traditional way of getting rid of inconvenient people. The modern country of Australia was created by this method.
@@matthewpatrick7263 Yeah. So to them they always lived, childless, in Australia. And to their friends they just disappeared (not uncommon for muggles to do at that time). Makes you wonder how they found jobs as dentists in another country with no real CV or references though
@@YZee-ij1uv is it really? I cant remember much of the books now haha thats great. There really is a lot of plot holes. In fairness they can just use the 'its magic' argument! 😁
2:19 There's something about the delivery of that world that makes it sound like the worst thing you could call a person. It's probably how they feel when they hear "mudblood".
Will you please do a pitch meeting for WestWorld? At some point in the sketch I would love to see Producer Guy start glitching and SreenWriter Guy say “Freeze All Motor Functions” and pull out a tablet and make some changes to Producer Guy’s code
This is great! I love Pitch Meeting and am *so* glad it's got its own channel now. I don't know if you do old films, but how about Excalibur from, I think, 1982 - Helen Mirren as Morgan le Fay, with small bit parts by Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson.
I went ahead to watch this right away as soon as I saw showing up in my recommendations part 2. I got so caught off guard because I don't remember seeing part 1. Anyways this was amazing! I'm sure it's very common for producer guy and screenwriter to being in a room with a bunch of shirtless clones of themselves. 😂
The thing that's important to know about the Harry Potter world is that Wizards who weren't born from Muggles have no common sense or ingenuity whatsoever. No really, that's just how they're actually supposed to be in-universe. They all get tricked incredibly easily and never think outside of the box because they're so used to instantly solving every problem with magic and the Ministry of Magic is full of them. In the books, this is explicitly pointed out multiple times to explain why Harry and Hermione come off as cleverer than most of the adults they face and since the only clever adults they face (like Snape) were raised by Muggles too. But in the movies, you just have to kind of figure that out on your own.
@@Frank-wh8cm Exactly, this is a lazy writers trick and not a good one. This is why kid "prodigies" showing up in shows are usually some of the worst episodes (side glance at Wesley Crusher) because when writers can't be bothered to actually write intelligent characters they need to dumb down everyone else to give the appearance of relative intelligence. Giving an in-world reason for this stupidity doesn't really excuse it either, though as you pointed out it does sometimes work in kids books ("ha ha, adults are dumb" is a valid and popular hook) but just looks lazy in more adult fare.

@@carlotta4th If the plan was to get Harry to safety, he would have left the house with the Dursley, by putting his invisible cloak

I like how the screenwriter guy is getting used to the weird thinks that the producer guy says
Every pitch meeting gets a little deeper into the dark past of Producer Guy, thus explaining his obsession with buying Canada!
They both have those moments too. Like during the Rogue One pitch meeting when screenwriter guy was talking about how he has no reason to keep people alive once they're no longer useful to him and producer guy tried to call for security when he couldn't confirm that he was specifically talking about screenwriting. 🤣
They're just growing desensitized.
and vice versa
@@premiumheadpats4150 another screenwriter guy moment is the condensed milk in the Batman Begins meeting where he goes ‘not until you’ve brushed mothers hair’
@@BananaWasTaken "not until you've brushed it well.."
Missed opportunity for a “not a happy camper” joke there with Ron leaving the endless camping trip.
Also, the “hey shut up” line is tight!
Nice one!
Dobby’s death is so tragic in the books, I always forget that in the films, he basically doesn’t show up between films 2 and 7.1 at all, so Producer’s reaction was accurate
One of several instances where omissions in the previous movies make later significant events less impactful.
Sean Bean randomly showing up and attacking the group would've probably made the movie far more exciting
I'd watch that version.
"RAWR! BEAN ATTACK!"
Getting attacked be sean bean is TIGHT
as someone who isnt big on harry potter I honestly felt the pacing in these two were the best, every other movie had its own specific stage of puberty that it needed to cover but they actually had some time for character nuance in this and the 2nd one
Hermione not thinking about her parents forgetting about their daughter that might also make the neighbors and friends suspect they did something to her and getting the police involved while they have a mental breakdown with odd memories of being in hospitals and pediatrician offices for no good reason is tight!
In the book, she sent her parents to Australia after erasing their memories.
@@matthewpatrick7263 why didn't she send them to Australia without erasing their memories?
@@carlsiouxfalls because they wouldn't stay in Australia if they knew they had a daughter in the UK.
also why even do that? if voldemort knows about them he will hunt them down and kill them whether they remember her or not, it's not like they would know where she went or plan to do even if she doesn't erase their memories.
@@matthewpatrick7263 not only in the book, her parents were mentioning Australia in the movie hinting that they were in fact in there.
Y'know, when he started detailing the polyjuice potion plan, it occurred to me that Harry himself could've just taken the potion and shapeshifted into a member of the Order who wasn't present; then they could've left with no apparent Harrys at all and Moody could've survived.
Yes but the death eaters knew that he was going to run that day (Snape told them), so they would've attacked anyway, maybe killing Harry by mistake...
I actually thought they should've just drove him to the Weasley's in a regular muggle car.
Also, Harry had the invisibility cloak at this time, right? Why didn't he put it on and crouch down in the sidecar and only one person use the polyjuice potion and fly off in the opposite direction?
I assumed they thought they were being watched. So any member who magically 'exited' the house would be the obvious target.
An example of a multi-layered plot point in a book turning into a dumb one by having to simplify it for a movie.
The point was that the plan was supposed to be leaked to the death eaters by Snape. It helped prove to the death eaters that Snape was loyal to them, even though knowledge of the plan wasn't enough to actually know which one was Harry. So, in this case the plan made sense in that it met the needs of all the subplots, even the ones the reader doesn't know about yet.
Pretty well done in the book (unlike, say, introducing a time traveling device that only ever got used once). But movies aren't allowed to make that kind of sense.
2:19 I love how the producer guy blames the wizards instead of the writer guy.
Reminds me of that previous episode:
Writer: you can't make this stuff up
Producer: But you did write it.
Writer: I did, yes.
(1:16) YES! Thank you for pointing that out! I would love to see a comparison of screen time for the two Moodys. Almost all the quirks and nuttiness that we associate with Brendan Gleason's portrayal of "Moody" is from Barty Crouch Jr. Either those are Crouch's impressions, which represent his take on what Moody is actually like, or they are characteristics of Barty Crouch Jr. himself. We see very little of the real Moody, and then to top it off he's unceremoniously killed off-screen!
I always referred to this movie as “Harry Potter and the Endless Camping Trip.” I’m glad to know I wasn’t the only person who thought that part went on way too long.
To be fair, there's a LOT of camping in the first part of that book too. Kinda a result of the fact they were not at the school this time.
@@Nooctae Yep. I remember this book as being mostly sad camping, then an unsatisfying showdown and an abrupt ending with very little closure for a 7 book series.
Yes, this is the only book that I got a bit bored reading for the first time, and only because of all the camping
@@Nooctae yeah, but there was way more going on with the camping besides just... you know... camping.
The pacing in Deathly Hallows is all over the place and it shouldn't have been. Goblet of Fire, the first of the 'long' books, is beautifully structured around half a dozen key events (Quidditch World Cup, Triwizard champions getting picked, task 1, Yule Ball, task 2, task 3) that are spaced evenly through the book. All the preceding chapters build up to the key event and build a sense of anticipation in the reader. Rowling used a similar structure for Half Blood Prince with Voldemort's memories. After that book it was all set up for Deathly Hallows to follow that pattern too, with Harry having to find and destroy 4 Horcruxes. It started off OK, with Harry et al tracking down the locket, but Rowling had Dumbledore ridiculously neglect to mention to Harry how to actually destroy a Horcrux and we wound up with a third of the book dedicated to the main trio wandering aimlessly around the countryside. Harry failed to work out where any of the other Horcruxes were from the information Dumbledore had given him in Half Blood Prince too, so all that set up was basically wasted. And to top it off, in a book that already involved 4 magical objects, Rowling decided to throw 3 more into the mix! Oh, and wand law makes no sense whatsoever! 🙂
I love how Screenwriter guy and Producer guy share the same level of obliviousness yet somehow still question each other’s logic
"Why?"
"Because, money."
"Oh no, one eyed friend who was actually an entirely different person from the time we knew him on screen!"
Haha, loved this joke, we hardly knew the real Moody!
Yes. One of the only parts of the books that never felt right with me. Like I really liked fake mad eye so the swap out always bothered me.
My head cannon says that was the real mad eye and he was only replaced by a fake at the end of the school year..
Yeah, that bothered me in the books, too.
Arguably, Crouch 'was' Moody insofar as he impersonated him perfectly enough to fool even Dumbledore and everyone else who knew him, but still …
Yes, noone hardly ever talks about this!
@@beesmitty3435 fyi "head canon" should only be spelled with one n, otherwise it means artillery
legit.
Ryan's delivery of the lines "No...we're done" at the end of the video is genuinely one of my fave moments. Reminded about the "sunk cost fallacy" term he used in The Walking Dead pitch meeting.
In the fifth book Harry is given a mirror that he can basically use to Skype call Sirius. But he forgets about it and remembers it only after Sirius died. He is angered because he realizes he could've used it and saved his life and so he throws it into his trunk and it shatters. Then in the other book he cuts his finger in one shard and when he picks it up he thinks he almost caught glimpse of a blue eye, which he thought was Dumbledore.
I like how the Executive Guy is now yelling at the characters in the screenplay for bad decisions rather than telling the Script Guy it's bad writing.
I think it has always been like this for adaptations and he tells the script writer off for 'original' movies
Come on, characters!..
I remember binging these with my ex who was obsessed with them, and I kept feeling lost as if I was missing things from the story. But because my ex had all the answers I assumed I just hadn’t been paying close enough attention or had gotten confused. Now I’m realizing things just sorta happened in these movies, sometimes with no explanation and the only way to understand is to have read the books in order to fill in the blanks or just guess why something happened lol
Even then there's a lot of logic gaps.
@@OrigamiShinigami *Magic
Any movie requiring to have the book with you to fill the gaps is nothing but a bad adaptation.
It is incredible how these books became something like the bible for an entire generation (of girls). My ex was obsessed with them too, my current girlfriend likes them waaaay more than she originally told me, when we first started dating (maybe because I told her pretty early how overrated HP is in my opinion. They're nice books and nice movies, but thats it).
"Are we not going to make these movies good anymore?"
"No, that's a few years down the line."
Ha, a tight shade at the Fantastic Beasts movies!
The FB movies aren't bad, just misguided. That's why I want them to have a chance at making the last two better.
From what i heard, fantastic beast had good script/story written. But the execution is poor. Scenes filled with tension in script are comedy scene in movie.
Horrible movies
@@jojosoni No. The scripts were bad.
@@billyjoecobra2517 The first one was decent.
2 was awful
The third? Never saw it
I remember being glad when I heard it would be split in two parts. And then everyone started doing it needlessly, and now I hate them for it
Were they the first movie series to do that? Yep, that got annoying pretty quickly.
in the books, I believe it is explained that Hermione sends her family to Australia, but they just skipped over that in the movie for some reason instead opting for house of empty picture frames
It still doesn't make any sense, though. But that's how award-winning writing works. Ummm, I think. 🙄
They could have easily fixed this by showing Hermione explaining to her parents why they have to flee to Australia and then as they’re walking out the door to get in the car she obliviates them (then cue the heartbreaking picture frames)
Australia was shut down during covid by our fascist pm so she couldn’t get them there.
"Hanging out with a bunch of shirtless copies is tight"
Ryan just broke reality.
It would be so funny if the other guy was suddenly shirtless and then was like
"I know right"
The sometimes questionable worldbuilding in harry potter is the perfect prey for ryan
"sometimes"
Yeah. That's why I don't like very much this franchise. Every single problem is fixed with magic, and some way the bad guys don't thing about that to prevent, like the "TRANSFORPORTION"
@@alexandresmgc374 I’m a huge fan of harry potter, but yeah the movies really aren’t great as a whole. The lack of character and world building moments skipped over to move the plot along better is a huge detriment to the films. Much like nearly every franchise, the books are infinitely better.

" And then Hedwigs saves harrys life and dies"
" Oh no bird friend!" Made me crack up
"That pisses Ron off, so then he stabs it."
"Yeah, really bad strategic planning there, locket, what are you doing?"
😁
It's strategy was to make Ron attack Harry or something
@@akbersalim9096 Oh really?
A good plan was to show Ron what he wants to see so he doesn't wanna destroy it
"Why doesn't the Ministry have safeguards against people sneaking in using Polyjuice Potion?"
Because wizards are morons. That's it. That's the reason. Not specifically mentioned in either the books or the movies, but it's become pretty clear throughout the series that wizards as a whole have no common sense.
It is mentioned in the very first book, when Hermione and Harry are at the Potions obstacle (that the movie skipped). She actually said that wizards don't have an ounce of logic. (She was complimenting the logic puzzle they were facing.)
It kind of makes sense, they rely too heavily on their magic and lots of them are very uptight about it and always think they're right
I'll have to agree on that one, sadly
When I was reading the book, it felt appalling to think that Bellatrix would be stupid enough to leave the prisoners all in one big cell, with none of their hands tied, and did not bother to cast any enchantments whatsoever to restrict their movements.
No wonder Voldemort could not win against a bunch of schoolchildren. Even his best recruit is idiotic.
@@JJJBunney001 I mean...just because they rely heavily on magic doesn't mean that none of them would ever think: "We got this potion that makes you change your appearance...people might use that"
Oh, Harry’s plot armor is tight, it makes these movies super easy barely and inconvenience.
oh really?
Heyshuddup
@@mitlandir5761 yeah! SHUT!
Yea yea yea!
"It makes them get attacked by Sean Bean" legit caught me off guard and made me laugh.
These are brilliant, I saw one a few weeks ago and have been watching them since.
I love how Ryan’s brain works. I wonder if he can watch a movie and enjoy it or if he immediately starts thinking about these things while watching.
I know I do
Bruh he even left out so many plotholes… he’d basically have to mention every single goddamn scene in this movie that can’t be named
I critique films too, I generally notice most things and predict the story from the beginning (my fiancée loves and hates that I can do that lol). But I can enjoy films without having to analyse every detail.
But when I’m reviewing I’m inspecting everything haha.
I'd guess a mix of both.
I love how every single pitch meeting is pretty much the exact same. It never gets old and never fails to bring a smile to my face
"Those are WILDLY different features for a thingy to have!" Great line.
03:00 - Whenever the producer guy says “what?”, it’s always delivered perfectly. Never gets old to me.
3:51 Evil necklaces are tight! Literally!
2:48 “Hey, shut up” 😂😂 my favourite part of every single video 😂

@@anthonyness5360 It doesn’t have to have problems, I just love hearing him pitch the show
The John Cena one or the shitty George Clooney one?
even though he suggests it he doesn't actually take requests
I'm waiting for the moment the producer just says passive aggressively: "super easy barely an inconvenience" in unison with the writer. And writer replies "oh,,,really" bit angrily
OMG as a potter fan, this one was extra exciting for me to see. Thanks for the video! I always love seeing one pop up in my notifications!
Out of sheer curiousity, did you prefer the books or the films? Personally, I saw the films first, and then tried to read books 1-4 to my daughter. She didn't really enjoy the convoluted areas of the writing, and even I felt that they were written extremely... haphazardly. In my opinion. No question of the wonderful world-building, but it was clear just how berserk a lot of it was. Almost as if the editors were non-existent.
The amount of times I was expecting a quick “hey, shut up” only to be surprised with something else AND THEN for that to happen half way through the video made me laugh at how ludicrous the Harry Potter movies were
I love how Harry Potter movie Pitch Meetings double as criticisms of the books and universe.
Being early for a Harry Potter Pitch Meeting is TIGHT! Time to watch all the flaws being pointed out in yet another beloved childhood movie of mine!

This is easily one of the best ones I've seen yet! You keep getting better at these. So many lazy plot holes I never even thought of. I laughed so hard.
The wedding made me feel for the bad guys. The good guys r just ASKING for it
The wedding should've taken place near the bride's home - in France, which was not in the middle of a war.
The funniest part about the trend of splitting a final book into 2 movies is that it kinda made sense for Harry Potter, since the book was extremely long, but those others were like tiny by comparison so they had absolutely nothing to fill time with. I’m cool with it happening in a book like “Dune” because, again, that book is super long, but this cash grab trend in YA books was so obvious that it immediately turned me off from any of those movies
You must have really been turned off by The Hobbit, then.
They've always said that Goblet of Fire should have been split into two movies too because the book was so long and a lot had to be cut out
@@mmack66 oh yeah, that was a trainwreck and a half. I at least initially accepted the idea that they were incorporating bits of the silmarillion to fill space, since there is a ridiculous amount of content in the LOTR universe that could theoretically work in the movies, but even so 3 movies would’ve been too much even if they did it right, which they 100% did not. The battle of five armies did have a ton of room to expand on, but they jumped the shark and it ended up being an incomprehensible mess. There were good moments, but overall it felt like it somewhat sullied the LOTR films’ good names since the series was now weighed down by a few pretty mid cash grabs
@@mmack66 Actually - yeah. I've waited for a fan cut to bring it back to one decent film.

First off let me just compliment you on literally ALL your videos both Pitch Meetings and all other content. You are brilliant and the fact it might secretly be subverting my ability to enjoy movies is COMPLETELY immaterial to the joy derived from deconstructing….well…everything stupid not only in cinematic “entertainment” but the world around us. Kudos my man. The fact u do it routinely and dare i say “super easy” (dude, totally realize the effort it takes) makes me appreciate it all the more. Just introduced my wife to your videos and not gonna lie i felt supremely warm and fuzzy when she said “oh my GOD that is so totally you! You should do that too!”
Literally have no idea how i managed to pull the wool over her eyes all these years to avoid realizing I’m a feckless incompetent. Love is blind
This series is what I wanted "honest trailers" to be... and more. Keep em coming!
Same here... I was disappointed by Honest Trailers as it's just a parody forcing stuff, it's actually far from honest lol.
Yeah the mirror in the movie is even more of a mystery.
He got it from Sirius in the books and the veil that he is pushed through is very ambiguous in the books and he is not hit with explicitly the killing curse so I really thought Sirius was going to advise Harry from the dead realm and maybe even be saved
Especially after hearing the tale of the three brothers and finding out about the resurrection stone.
@@yuliangeorgiev But Rowling isn't that clever. She created a fantastic world, but it's pretty standard fantasy.
@@OctEddie I think it's quite the opposite. The mirror was there to fool us there's still hope for Sirius but it actually found its reason to be in the story not just for the subversion of expectations. Pretty clever if you ask me.
@@OctEddie in Harry Potter, death is death. There usually isn't anything more to it. You die and you may become a ghost that's all. And there is Harry Potter who is pretty much immortal. Lol
@@bern9642 yeah, I didnt think Sirius was really dead though
The Sean Bean joke got me really hard xD
Just a bit strange that producer guy doesn't pick up the fact that just a tiny house elf manages to dispatch all of the deatheaters with ease.
I mean they can even teleport where noone can so how come noone has ever raised an army of house elves and conquered the world already ?

This is great! I love Pitch Meeting and am *so* glad it's got its own channel now. I don't know if you do old films, but how about Excalibur from, I think, 1982 - Helen Mirren as Morgan le Fay, with small bit parts by Patrick Stewart and Liam Neeson.

You make Pitch Meetings look super easy, barely an inconvenience!! I would love to see a Pitch Meeting on M Night the visit sometime in the future.
5:38, that was the inevitable result of adapting the books into movies before the book series had ended
I went ahead to watch this right away as soon as I saw showing up in my recommendations part 2. I got so caught off guard because I don't remember seeing part 1. Anyways this was amazing! I'm sure it's very common for producer guy and screenwriter to being in a room with a bunch of shirtless clones of themselves. 😂
The thing that's important to know about the Harry Potter world is that Wizards who weren't born from Muggles have no common sense or ingenuity whatsoever. No really, that's just how they're actually supposed to be in-universe. They all get tricked incredibly easily and never think outside of the box because they're so used to instantly solving every problem with magic and the Ministry of Magic is full of them. In the books, this is explicitly pointed out multiple times to explain why Harry and Hermione come off as cleverer than most of the adults they face and since the only clever adults they face (like Snape) were raised by Muggles too. But in the movies, you just have to kind of figure that out on your own.
And that is fine for a book for children. THe problem came with book 3, when it began to get a bit more grownup.
Interesting
@@SEL-rv9in Dumbledore is made from the same material. The problem is JKR. No wizard can be better than what is in JKR's head.
@@SEL-rv9in Voldemort is the worst Lich ever. Who stores their soul pieces in a bunch of famous artifacts?
@@Frank-wh8cm Exactly, this is a lazy writers trick and not a good one. This is why kid "prodigies" showing up in shows are usually some of the worst episodes (side glance at Wesley Crusher) because when writers can't be bothered to actually write intelligent characters they need to dumb down everyone else to give the appearance of relative intelligence. Giving an in-world reason for this stupidity doesn't really excuse it either, though as you pointed out it does sometimes work in kids books ("ha ha, adults are dumb" is a valid and popular hook) but just looks lazy in more adult fare.
Ryan, I beg of you, split the next HP Pitch Meeting into two parts just for the satire of it all!
